My Office/Scrap room and some new pages!

Here are some photos of my office space/ room of scrap lol. My hubby was so great to put up this peg board and it really helped me get organized. You kind of have to once half the wall is a blank giant white peg board! I will probably be decorating the top more so there is not so much white space and I don't want many things up where I can't reach them.




I LOVE my Cricut!



These paper racks are really easy to make with zip ties!




I like to have toys on my desk...




The bead and Jewelry zone!



I love these cube storage systems, I also used two nightstands from Ikea
as the base. It all works really well together!



These are the most recent pages I have done. I really enjoyed working on them
for the challenges at Serendipity Scrapbooks!

This page is of my friend Steph and I when we went to see the
movie New In Town. It was so funny we had such a good
time. After the movie we saw the photo booth and
could not resist!


I have not decided if I am done with this page! I feel like it needs something,
but I just can not decide what?! I love to use the photos my mom has of
me as a baby to make pages! lol

Tia is just the cutest and I love to photograph her! She was so good
for this shoot and at the very end she fell asleep for this perfect shot
I Love it!


I love my cat Fuji, I think he is THE most wonderful cat around and most agree!
He is the softest and most loving cat I have ever met and is that way with
anyone that comes over! For some odd reason though he is
afraid of Tia! lol

I have been at an all weekend crop all day today and it was SO much fun meeting new people and seeing all the great ideas and LO's everyone had! I will be there again tomorrow and am looking forward to it very much. DH was not happy with all the supplies I wanted to take and thought I would be the one with the most "stuff" but I was by far not! lol

I am posting some LO's I have worked on recently and a few older projects. I recently made a really cute album out of a folder (the ones you use inside a hanging file folder) and photos will be coming soon.

I shot some photos for my friend Amber and baby Tia for a Valentines Day present for dad, so sweet! Photos will be in the next post, she was so cute and good putting up with all the flashing! I am also working on a gift for my own DH, I got a really cute idea to make a Chinese take out box with paper fortune cookies with sweet things to say to him! It was a great idea from a fellow scrapper on Serendipity Scrapbooks!

I am working on getting organize in my craft space and hoping to post on a more regular occasion! Thanks for checking out my blog.



This is our wedding, it took me over two years to get to this first wedding page
I had not even printed the photos until I worked on this...
can you say procrastinate!


My mother was also a photographer so she liked to use me as her subject,
I must say I was pretty cute! lol
I have been raiding all of our old albums to make baby pages to
substitute for my lack of child! heh (Hopefully soon!)



This is a card I made using the Cricut and SCAL, I really LOVE my cricut
it opens up so many possibilities!


This is a recent LO I did for the challenges on the SS forums, I am really enjoying
all the great ideas and inspiration I get from everyone there.


This is my niece Ellie, she is so cute and I miss her and her brother Logan so
much! I used to get to take photos of them all the time when we lived in
FL. That is probably one of the very few things I miss, is getting to
see those kids and their parents! My sister and brother in law are the greatest!

This was from their trip to Disney World and I took them of Orenda's (SIL) facebook page!

I have been working on my scrap booking! I entered a design team contest and did not make it but it really inspired me to evolve in my style. I am going to post some of my older pages then in the next post I will include the ones I have worked on recently.

A few other things have been happening! I got my cast. I was so glad to get the splint off it was hard to get around with because it was so big! I am really excited that my cast is purple and I am going to decoupage butterflies and glitter on it among other decorations.

My Hubby Dean is taking good care of me making dinner and cleaning up and getting me the things I need! He is so sweet, I don't know what I would do with out him during my recovery.

I am putting together all my photos for a new website my friend Steph is going to work on for me, I am really excited it will be more geared toward family and wedding photos, hopefully I can start my business once I can walk again. I am also working on getting things together for an etsy store! I have so much in the works but I think it is good for me to have things to figure out while I am not able to walk...manditory think tank lol.

So here are the pages I did for the design team contest...



This is a card I made for the entry



This page is about two of my good friend Lori and Becky, they have both really
taken the time to be there for my durring surgery and recovery, and are both
really sweet and always make me laugh!


This is an altered box I made into a purse


All about me page!


Me and my Hubby when we were dating, he loves my hair in these photos
and always tells me they are his favorites!

My new blog!

I am dedicating this blog to the new year and my recovery. To moving forward and all the things in my life that help me do that.

I will be posting my crafts, photos and general information to keep family and freinds up to date with where I am on this journey.

Thanks for being here and letting me share my thoughts with you!
